Changes at the T-D

My T-D ad rep called me recently and didn't even mention the usual special sections coming up. He pitched all web ads. Ah, the future, I thought. This morning's stories on reorganization at the T-D confirmed it. "Web-first selling a top priority," it says.

I've forgotten all about that regional news team the T-D sent up several months ago, but apparently there's been another shakeup in their ranks, with a new local news editor, deputy editor for breaking news, deputy editor for Richmond and north of the James, deputy editor for South of the James, and a single editor czar for merged community news and features, lifestyles and entertainment. Is that too much compartmentalization? Maybe not. I expect to see a big jump in local news coverage.
